Pete's tweet says "actually died of covid" whereas the CDC page says "covid was the only cause mentioned" - which is pretty disingenuous imo. Some of the other comorbidities listed are stuff like diabetes and obesity.
So DrElizabeth is asserting anyone with diabetes who dies of covid - actually died of diabetes.
This is so ludicrous we shouldn't even have to waste time discussing it. It's exhausting dealing with this kind of nonsense disinformation day in, day out. Which I suspect is suspect is the intent.
